THE NOORDAM NEWS, "Somewhere on the Pacific", Sept. 15, 1943
* MS Noordam II troopship
The Noordam was a Holland American Line ship which was converted to a troopship by Bethlehem Steel to transport up to 2,400 troops for the U.S. War Shipping Administration. She was sent into action and transporting troops where needed.
This was a four page "camp" newspaper crudely created by a typewriter and mimeograph machine, likely on board the ship. There is much reporting on World War II with several illustrations. The entire back page is a map of the "Solomon Islands".
Good condition.
